AI for Good Global Summit | Geneva, Switzerland | 8-11 July, 2025
Background
A new wave of autonomous AI—capable of reasoning, acting independently, and scaling at unprecedented speeds—is transforming industries, economies, and societies. The rise of “agentic AI” and increasingly powerful, low-cost models is making artificial intelligence more accessible, efficient, and influential—but also harder to regulate. As some leading experts predict human-level AI within just a few years, urgent questions about safety, governance, and responsible development are taking center stage.
